Abstract | If educators recall hating homework as students, why then would they continue to subject their students to similar experiences? The authors believe that, by finding ways to leverage learning opportunities outside of school, the curriculum could become more dynamic and personal. Their intent in writing this article is to reveal how one can maintain the integrity of the in-school curriculum while at the same time making school more meaningful and engaging. The authors will describe meaningful homework followed by an overview of a unit on government. They'll then provide a couple of examples drawn from units of study in which homework has been transformed into worthwhile community learning. (Contains 7 notes.) (ERIC). |
